Aratiatia Rapids. North Island NZ. Spiritual home of The Hobbit & LOTR movies.

Aratiatia Rapids - Barrel ride location, The Hobbit

Over the next two weeks (including BOTFA Premiere week), I am posting a series of photos of NZ. I am doing this to make a subtle statement about what I consider to be the indifferent, and case-hardened attitudes, of those who work in the entertainment industry towards a region of the world they consider to be dispensible and irrelevant.

About this blog

Actor Richard Armitage has been cast as Thorin Oakenshield in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit Movies. This blog aims to explore the stories about Tolkien's dwarves and any other material that may be related to The Hobbit. I have been a long time follower of Richard Armitage's work and have also developed a great love and appreciation of Tolkien's writings. I was captivated by Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies and will wait with great anticipation to see how he can bring "The Hobbit" to life for audiences.
